Hey guys. I sure could use some help figuring out what this is? No clue. Also, is the hump a the bottom of the grip original or was it replaced? I mean...it obviously is a different piece of wood but I didn't know if this came that way. Also...the ornate pieces on inlay wood...is that original or did someone do that?

What is it?
When was it made?
Who made it?
Where was it made?

Anything you can help with!

  It appears to be a heavily sporterized Swiss Model 1889/96 service rifle. Around 127,000 were produced, all of them at Eidgenoessische Waffenfabrik, Bern. Your rifle looks to date from around 1904.
